YEN.com.gh understands that he sought to use his siren to traffic on the Dawenya highway.

Explaining his action, Asem told the police he had clearance from the National Security, although he was unable to provide evidence to that effect.

He thereafter pleaded with the police to let him go, with the excuse that he had the donations to a funeral he was attending on him, hence his use of siren to beat traffic.

Per a Citinewsroom.com report, the Dawenya highway has been prone to jams largely due to the heavy volumes of traffic on the international road.

Drivers have resorted to using the shoulders of the road while others with influence use their sirens to maneuver their way through.
